I have tried everyhting from checking the disk utility and clearing out through there, doing a cd-rom boot(holding c while I restarted) as well as holding n. I bought my mac refurbished and for as long as I've had it, I've never put a disk in it. So, there is really no way one could be stuck. Is there something I am doing wrong or do I simply need to take it to the apple docors? 😟
MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz)
ejects after several seconds? if so then a dirty/ dusty laser diode lens
ejects immediately? then very likely a damaged loader.
cleaning the lens on a slot loader isnt easy to be sure.
verify with another disk first.
Contact Apple for appt for free diagnostics, and possible replacement of superdrive.

My mid 2011 27" iMac has the same issue. I rarely used the drive since buying it new. Now when I insert CD media, it ejects right away. Research I have done points to a bad drive.
Ive fixed several Superdrives, however its nearly futile since a new Superdrive (made by Panasonic) only costs $40, though I like fixing things.
Immediate ejection points to (usually) a bad loader, or as you put it a bad drive.
otherwise its a dusty lens, but not by your indications.
Superdrives are actually rather complex mechanically.

Why won't my mac accept cds
